Summary: SELinux is preventing /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/Adobe AIR Updater from making the program stack executable. Detailed Description: The 41646F626520414952205570646174 application attempted to make its stack executable. This is a potential security problem. This should never ever be necessary. Stack memory is not executable on most OSes these days and this will not change. Executable stack memory is one of the biggest security problems. An execstack error might in fact be most likely raised by malicious code. Applications are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission. The SELinux Memory Protection Tests (http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to remove this requirement. If 41646F626520414952205570646174 does not work and you need it to work, you can configure SELinux temporarily to allow this access until the application is fixed. Please file a bug report. Allowing Access: Sometimes a library is accidentally marked with the execstack flag, if you find a library with this flag you can clear it with the execstack -c LIBRARY_PATH. Then retry your application. If the app continues to not work, you can turn the flag back on with execstack -s LIBRARY_PATH. Otherwise, if you trust 41646F626520414952205570646174 to run correctly, you can change the context of the executable to execmem_exec_t. "chcon -t execmem_exec_t '/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/Adobe AIR Updater'" You must also change the default file context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel. "semanage fcontext -a -t execmem_exec_t '/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/Adobe AIR Updater'" Fix Command: chcon -t execmem_exec_t '/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/Adobe AIR Updater' Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Objects None [ process ] Source plugin-config Source Path /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages adobeair1.0-1.5.2-8870 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-40.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_execstack Host Name (removed) Platform Linux f12.localdomain 2.6.31.5-115.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed Nov 4 00:27:30 EST 2009 i686 i686 Alert Count 59 First Seen Mon 02 Nov 2009 01:16:59 AM EST Last Seen Fri 06 Nov 2009 10:18:39 PM EST Local ID 93a9353b-3e54-448e-8bc9-1559e5fe48e5 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=f12.localdomain type=AVC msg=audit(1257563919.365:33442): avc: denied { execstack } for pid=2664 comm=41646F626520414952205570646174 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process node=f12.localdomain type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1257563919.365:33442): arch=40000003 syscall=125 success=no exit=-13 a0=bff23000 a1=1000 a2=1000007 a3=bff23718 items=0 ppid=2663 pid=2664 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=41646F626520414952205570646174 exe=2F6F70742F41646F6265204149522F56657273696F6E732F312E302F5265736F75726365732F41646F6265204149522055706461746572 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.6.32-40.fc12,allow_execstack,plugin-config,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execstack audit2allow suggests: #============= unconfined_t ============== allow unconfined_t self:process execstack;
